Poll OHIO. We haven't seen any in a few months. It will be interesting to see whether or not Strickland's numbers are any better off now since the budget mess is over.

My guess is not.

I do have a special request.. Consider polling Ohio's 6th District for Congress. Former Congressmen Jim Traficant (D) is out of jail and may consider running against blue dog Charlie Wilson instead of his old 17th District. Traficant, a noted conservative, may yank another Dem seat in 2010 as an Independent, all while voting with the GOP on most issues.

I'd like to renominate Arizona again. It meets the criteria pretty well:

1) There has been leaked internal polling, but no public polling on the governor's race or senate race.

2) No one has polled McCain's favorables in ages. It will be good to see how Arizona is responding to his drift to the right.

3) The Gov race stands a good chance of flipping according to conventional wisdom. This is a good chance to check that: it is quite possible the Democrats can retake this seat.

Other bonuses: checking how Obama's rating in the state compares to the countries. Arizona, CV held, would have been a swing state in '08 if not for McCain: now's a good chance to see if Arizona likes Obama enough to possibly be close, or it looks more like West Virginia or Arkansas.

GA-Sen: It'd be interesting to see some of the candidates that are doing poorly in the crowded Dem primary for Governor tested against Isakson. Maybe some of them might be convinced to switch races to a clear primary field in the Senate race.

MO-Sen doesn't seem to have been polled in a whileCA-Gov general with Whitman in it doesn't show up very oftenDE-Sen could be timed well if Castle announces his plans this week like he said he would a month ago

CT-SEN and CT-Gov. I want to see how Simmons is doing against Dodd. Also, Rell might not run for reelection. Testing her or CT's Lieutenant Governor against what seems like a formidable Democratic field would provide info for a race that hasn't been polled much even though CT has a tight Senate race.

I second Arizona. If I had to make a (uneducated) guess, I'd say that Gov. Jan Brewer is trailing in a primary against State Treasurer Dean Martin and in a general election against Attorney General Terry Goddard. I'd also like to know what Arizonans think about a sales tax increase (which is the controversy weighing on Brewer) and selling the state Capitol building.
